 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Stone Cold , from Russ Green , and it's a driving blues rocker. Opening with Lint Redux , you are immediately in the middle of a swampy blues with modern effects. With a firm foot stomp by Felix Pollard on drums and Vic Jackson on bass Russ Green on harmonica and vocals really has the earthy feel. Giles Corey on slide gives the track great grease and Green's harp work is strong. Excellent opener. 12 Feet of Water opens with a terrific harmonica aria before grinding into a super drum driven romp. With the feel that I can only describe as Hill Country , Green delivers such soulful vocals, comforted by Joe Monroe on keys, this track just grabs you. Green's harmonica is like a shuddering wind blowing through you with the thumping bass of Vic Jackson and Vince Agwada on guitar. Excellent! Easy going shuffle, Nobody Knows has a smooth, supple melody with backing acoustic guitar, minimal drum work and melodic ha...

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Karen Lawrence Hostel Records artist: Karen Lawrence - The Blues Is Back - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the newest release, The Blues Is Back, by Karen Lawrence and it has a real cool feel. Opening with shuffle, Made To Move, Karen Lawrence on lead really gets a slinky feel. Tony Saracene on guitar lays in some nice slide, with Bobby Donahoe on bass and Thomas Southworth on drums. Driving shuffle I'm Comin' Home is a really cool track with substantial slide work by Saracene and warm organ by by Max Butler. One of my favorites on the release. Title track, The Blues Is Back, is a nice showcase for Lawrence's vocal style and Saracene works the fretboard nicely against  keeping you rocking in your seat. Heaven's Masterpiece is an interesting ballad showcasingnish guitar styling by Saracene and solid vocal work by Lawrence. Wrapping the release is boogie track, Hold Onto Me with it's driving bass line by Ted Chatt and Dan Potruch on drums. Saracene again steps up with some tasty guitar riffs giving the track a stinging edge. Solid closer.
